It's the equivalent of giving the Legendary Monster a bunch of actions, but to do them all at once wouldn't be as interesting and would reflect the simultaneousness of combat poorly.  So we spread them out a bit.As far as the able to do more things against more enemies complaint goes, I've explained in the other thread:  You DO fight harder against multiple opponents than you do against one.And to the scenario in which the Dragon, for example, hits a Paladin multiple times with its tail because it's being shot at by archers:  Don't do that then if you don't find it plausible. There are other options for the DM to use in place of spamming a tail attack.  Only use the tail multiple times against multiple opponents.  Use wing buffet against the archers.  If there are less opponents use the higher cost (some actions cost 2 Legendary Actons).  Besides, it's not like they get Legendary Actions equal to the number of opponents. They get a finite number.</blockquote>
